Sorry Pete about the link. I apologise but don't call double standards just because you're affected. Opinions get jaded that way.

You don't understand

I want the NCPO to enforce many of these things....but they aren't.

What do you want? Are you under the illusion that the NCPO is doing great job and there is now no private business taking place on the beaches? The taxis booths are all gone and the amazing call center is setup and operational? Are there unicorns prancing past your house?

There main objective is to define public and private land. They moved them on but obviously haven't been helped with all the hurdles locals put up by not moving when told. Catch beach club and others are stalling just makes the job harder.

Once the deadline hits nobody knows.

Just wait and see before flying off the handle.

I noticed you're still operating, why haven't you demolished yet?

I'm not sure any of the remaining buildings on the beach will be demolished.

The sure thing is that there are far less customers there now

Anyhow time will tell...

I was over in Kata last week and the tuk tuk scum seem to be back in numbers with a lot congregated around the new toilet block on the beach, seemed like an apt place for these ******** also down the other end on the bend .

Taxi's in the car park next to government building also.

I have a friend who has a hotel in Karon says a lot of the hard core scum are back now after a few weeks in hiding.

But that not a crack is it?

That's because its controlled by the guys in the government building. All in cahoots together. The car park behind that where they fester the army can do nothing about and they are the most scummy of the island.

I pass that carpark every day and my observation is that there are much less tuk tuks and green plate taxis in the actual car park. Now I see them parking in the Tesibaan forecourt and on the road opposite the public buses. Much less taxi drivers hanging about the shelter in the car park and the tourist taxi desk stand still not there any more.

They have just spread them around.

Some near the surfhouse toilets and others hanging out next to the lifesavers builfing at the north end.

When I saw the tessabaan grounds I laughed to myself. Never has it been so obvious about who protects them.

No, those were always there, there really are far less tuktuks and taxi drivers hanging around at the moment.
